Multi-Criteria, Co-Evolutionary Charging Behavior: An Agent-Based Simulation of Urban Electromobility
2021
Author(s): Adenaw L, Lienkamp M
. This article presents a novel agent-based simulation framework for urban electromobility aimed at the analysis of charging station utilization and user behavior. The approach presented here employs a novel co-evolutionary learning model for adaptive charging behavior.
The Role of the European Union’s Vehicle CO2 Standards in Achieving the European Green Deal
2021
Author(s): Buysse C, Miller J, Díaz S, Sen A, Braun C
This briefing paper identifies several possible levels of stringency for the post-2021 CO2 standards in the European Union for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and compares them against economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, as well as the 2050 target for transport sector emission reductions in the EU Green Deal.

Dynamic Analysis of Unilateral Harpoon-Shift Synchronizer for Electric Vehicles
2021
Author(s): Mo W, Walker PD, Tian Y, Zhang N
A novel unilateral Harpoon shift is developed as an alternative for conventional cone-type synchronizers used in electric vehicles equipped with multi-speed CLAMT, aiming to improve the gearbox's efficiency and performance.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are all set to play a critical role in India’s transition to a green economy. However, there are speed bumps along the road, especially with regard to manufacturing.
Modeling and Experimental Investigation of Thermal Comfort and Energy Consumption in a Battery Electric Bus
2021
Author(s): Cigarini F, Fay T-A, Artemenko N, Göhlich D
This paper proposes a method to experimentally investigate the influence of the HVAC system on the energy consumption and thermal comfort in a 12 m e-bus. An appropriate thermal comfort model is identified and the required climatic input parameters are selected and measured with self-developed sensor stations.
